(1) The angel announced
Christ's birth to the Virgin and said to her:
"The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest
will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born
will be called the Sonof God' (Lk. 1:35).

(2) After healing the lame man,
St. Peter
the Apostle reproached the
Jews for rejecting
Christ, saying: "But you have denied the Holy
One and the Just and asked for a murderer to be granted to you" (Acts 3:14).

(3)
St.
Paul the Apostle said that
Christ is
"holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than
the heavens" (Heb. 7:26).

(4) The whole church prayed after the release of the Apostles
Peter
and John, saying: "Grant to Your servants that with all boldness they
may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs
and wonders may be done through
Your holy Servant Jesus"
(Acts 4:30). Also see the Book of Acts, chapter 4, verse 27.

(5) Even the Lord Himself, in His message to the angel of the church
of Philadelphia, says: "These things says
Hewho is holy, He who is true, 'He who has the key of
David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens' " (Rev.
3:7).

(6) In the
Lord Jesus Christ's holiness, He appeared to everyone to
be separate from sinners and the only good One. That is why He said to
the Jews, defying them: "Which of you convicts Me of sin?" (Jn.
8:46), and said about the
Devil: "The ruler of this world is coming,
and he has nothing in Me" (Jn. 14:30).

(7) The Apostles testified to the Lord, saying that He
"was in all
points tempted as we are, yet without sin" (Heb. 4:15); He "knew no sin"
(2 Cor.
5:2 1); "in Him there was no sin" (Un. 3:5), and that He "committed no sin, nor was guile found in His mouth"
(1 Pet. 2:22).

(8) Even strangers and enemies testified to
Christ with the same testimony. Judas who handed Him over, said: "I
have sinned by betraying innocent blood'
(Matt. 27:4), and
Pilate who sentenced Him to death, said: "I am innocent of the blood
of this just Person" (Matt. 27:24), and Pilate's wife sent to her
husband, saying: "Have nothing to do with that just Man" (Matt.
27.19).

(9) Even the
Devil witnessed to
Christ, saying: "I
know who You
are the Holy One of God' (Mk. 1:24); (Lk. 4:34).

(10) Even Jehovah's Witnesses testified to
Christ in their magazine
Watchtower (Arabic issue of June 1953, p. 96), in their reply to
a question about the words of Solomon the Sage: "One man among a thousand I have found, but a woman
among all these I have not found' (Ecc. 7:28). They said that the
number 1,000 is a symbol of wholeness, and that a thousand men is a
symbol of all men, and we have
discussed this issue before here on
st-takla.org in other pages. And if there is no woman among all women who is good and without sin, there is only One found among men who is good, that is,
Jesus Christ, the only One with this quality who
lived on earth.

(1) If there is no one good but One, that is, God, and it has been
proved that Christ is good or rather that He is the only good One, then
Christ is God; He who is separate from sinners and has become higher
than the heavens.

(2) If God alone is holy (Rev. 15:4) and it has been proved that
Christ is holy, then
Christ is God.

A question:

When the rich young man asked the Lord: "Good
teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?",
why did the
Lord reply: "Why do you call Me good? Noone is good but One, that is, God" (Matt. 19:16,17)?
The reply:

The Jews were accustomed to calling their teachers good teacher'. So
the
Lord Jesus Christ wanted to ask the young man: "Are you giving Me
this title as a routine custom, as you would do for other teachers? If
so, know that no one is good but One, that is, God. And do you believe
that I am this God?"

The
Lord Jesus Christ did not say that He was not good but rather, on
another occasion, He said: "I am the, good shepherd" (Jn.
10: 11), and He also said: "Which of you convicts Me of sin?" (Jn. 8:46)
